2 1 Business Scenario SAP has grown to be the most important information system for many companies. These companies use SAP BI as the central tool for operational and analytical reporting. Companies make decisions of local and global importance based on the results of reporting in SAP BI. As the information stored within SAP BI is used as the basis of company-wide decisions and strategies, data quality plays a crucial role. One of the most important aspects of data quality is data consistency. Because SAP BI as a data warehouse integrates, stores and transforms (prepares) data, the consistency of data between the different processing steps is a key factor. This how-to-paper describes the possible data reconciliation scenarios and the relevant implementation steps that you can apply in your system to check whether data is consistent in the SAP source system and SAP BI. In addition, these scenarios also support you in determining the causes of data inconsistency. As well as this how-to paper, you can find the most up-to-date information about this BIrelated issue in SAP Service Marketplace: Data Consistency. A list of check-tools for how to resolve data consistency problems within BI is also provided. 2 Concept 2.1 Data Reconciliation Scenarios In general there are four possible data reconciliation scenarios that can be applied in a system in order to reconcile the data between SAP source systems and SAP BI. In addition, depending on the application area (CO, FI, SD, MM etc), some special reconciliation scenarios are available Reconciliation DataSource The reconciliation DataSource is a DataSource which SAP delivers as standard business content for data reconciliation purposes. In the documentation on DataSources, a reconciliation DataSource is mentioned that can be used for reconciliation with the original DataSource. Alternatively the documentation describes how to design a data reconciliation scenario for the relevant DataSource Generic DataSource with Database View or InfoSet If no reconciliation DataSource is available in the standard business content it is sometimes possible to create a customer-specific reconciliation DataSource from a database view, table or InfoSet in transaction RSO2. Since the extraction of the data reconciliation DataSource is performed remotely, it is necessary to keep the volume of data transferred as low as possible. This process is thus not suitable If the volume of data to be extracted and transferred cannot be reduced effectively 2005 SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 1
3 If the data that the original DataSource provides is not saved in a database table (e.g. calculated key figures) Generic DataSource with Function Module With this scenario it is possible to reproduce complex extraction logic so that the data attained is suitable for the data reconciliation. You can also restrict the volume of data to be transferred using data aggregation. If the extraction logic of the original DataSource is highly complex, there is a danger that errors can creep into the extraction logic, leading to incorrect results in the reconciliation DataSource. Thus this scenario is only recommended for experienced developers. It is not appropriate if no suitable data can be prepared for the data reconciliation due to complex extraction logic in the original DataSource Direct Access to the DataSource If none of the scenarios mentioned above are applicable, data reconciliation can be performed using direct access to the DataSource. Dependent on the design, not all DataSources allow direct access. This property is stored in the virtcube field in table roosource. If 'D' is entered in this field direct access cannot be performed. Otherwise direct access is possible, but the runtime depends on the volume of data that must be read and transferred from the database. In order for direct access to function properly, the technical design of the system (processor, memory) must enable the user to make a meaningful selection. Since the original DataSource is applied as the reconciliation DataSource in this scenario, any inconsistencies in the administration of the delta queue can be identified. On the other hand, there is also the danger that some system errors may not be identified, so this scenario should only be applied for data reconciliation purposes on a limited basis SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 2
4 2.2 Decision Tree for Data Reconciliation Scenarios The following decision tree supports you in deciding which reconciliation scenario should be applied in the system: Is there an existing resonciliation DataSource available with the standard business content? Yes No Does the DataSource documentation describe a reconciliation scenario? Yes No Can the extraction logic be reproduced via a database view or InfoSet? Yes No Can the extraction logic be reproduced via a function module (coding)? Yes No Create an appropriate database view or InfoSet Could this DataSource be accessed remotely? Apply scenario reconciliation DataSource from the standard business content Follow the description and implement the reconciliation scenario accordingly Apply scenario generic DataSource with database view or InfoSet Apply scenario generic DataSource with function module Yes Apply scenario DataSource direct access No No scenario can be applied SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 3
5 2.3 Applying the Data Reconciliation Scenario After you have determined the scenario that should be applied in the system, see the following slide for the appropriate data models for the afore-mentioned reconciliation scenarios. SAP BW ODS Object Multi Provider Direct Mapping Transformation DataSource Replicate Remote Cube SAP Source System Delta Queue Original DataSource Application Data DataSource for Reconciliation Generic DataSource with Database View or InfoSet Generic DataSource with Function Module Original DataSource with Direct Access Reconciliation DataSource from Standard Business Content Whichever scenario you are going to apply in your system, they all consist of the following objects: MultiProvider for results The MultiProvider is used to combine data in ODS objects and data in RemoteCubes. This allows results to be compared easily. Query A query is used to report on data from different data providers. ODS object based on the original DataSource Data from OLTP is loaded directly into the ODS object without any data transformation or manipulation. In some areas of the standard business content this type of ODS object has already been delivered, for example, in the CO, SRM and Logistics areas SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 4
6 A RemoteCube has to be created and should be connected to the reconciliation DataSource, generic DataSource with database view, generic DataSource with function module, or original DataSource upon which you are going to apply the reconciliation scenario. Depending on the scenario, one of the following DataSources is required: Reconciliation DataSource Delivered with SAP BI Business Content (as of NetWeaver 2004s, PI_BASIS ) Reconciliation DataSources are planned to be delivered with PI_BASIS If a DataSource is assigned to the node Reconciliation in transaction RSA6 in SAP source systems, this DataSource can be applied for data reconciliation purposes. Generic DataSource with Database View : A generic DataSource based on an R/3 database table or R/3 database view. This DataSource should be implemented in a customer system. Generic DataSource with Function Module A generic DataSource based on a function module. This DataSource should be implemented in a customer system. Direct Access to the DataSource No additional DataSource needs to be implemented in the customer system. The original DataSource can be used to perform the data reconciliation scenario. This DataSource is either delivered by SAP with the standard business content or is implemented by customers themselves. As the prerequisite, this DataSource should be accessible remotely. 2.4 Application-Specific Scenarios Besides the generic reconciliation scenarios, some application-specific extraction logic necessitate the use of application-specific reconciliation Application: Controlling and Financial Accounting Controlling Area Extract totals: 0CO_OM_CCA_1: This DataSource extracts information regarding costs (primary and secondary) and quantities posted to cost centers for each fiscal year period SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 5
7 Extract single records: 0CO_OM_CCA_9: This DataSource extracts information regarding actual costs which are posted to the cost center. It extracts on a daily basis (on the posting date) and is able to select delta datasets. These two DataSources extract the same information. The first extracts the CO cost at the end of each period while the other DataSource extracts the CO cost on a daily basis. These two DataSources can be applied for the reconciliation scenario. Financial Accounting General Leger Area: Extracts transaction figures: 0FIGL_1: This DataSource is used to load General Ledger transaction figures (table GLTO) from the R/3 source system to the Business Information Warehouse. Extracts transaction figures with delta method: 0FIGL_6: This DataSource is used to load General Ledger transaction figures (table GLTO) from the R/3 source system to the Business Information Warehouse using the delta extraction method. These two DataSources extract exactly the same information but with different delta methods. We recommend that you apply 0FIGL_6 to extract the information from table GLTO and apply 0FIGL_1 as the reconciliation DataSource in your system Application: Logistic (SD, MM, PLM etc) In general, the Generic View DataSource scenario is suitable for reconciling key figures that are stored directly in database tables in a source system. As key figures are always stored in database tables in the controlling and financial applications, this scenario is suitable for the FI and CO areas. In contrast, logistics applications like SD, MM, PLM, etc. may also contain key figures that are determined dynamically within an online transaction (e.g. key figure open order quantity in application SD). Key figures of this type are not stored in a database table. In this case, you need to program your own generic DataSource with a function module (scenario Generic DataSource with function module ). This requires a certain amount of effort and extensive understanding of the extraction and application logic. As an alternative, the following workaround can be applied to reconcile data of this type: Select a set of data for reconciliation (e.g. particular order number or sales area) Run transaction OLI7BW for a statistical setup of this data selection in the source system Compare the data from BI (PSA table) and the data in RSA3. As a statistical data setup is time-consuming for a huge amount of data, this alternative is not applicable for reconciling mass data. It is more suitable for testing a small set of data SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 6
8 3 The Step-By-Step Solution This chapter gives you a step-by-step solution for reconciliation scenarios based on an example from the controlling area. All of the possible reconciliation scenarios are listed below. It is not necessary to apply all of these scenarios in your system. Based on your own reconciliation requirements (content area, key figure, etc), you should apply the most appropriate scenario. 3.1 Implementing DataSources Dependent on Reconciliation Scenarios This section demonstrates how to implement these DataSources depending on different reconciliation scenarios Scenario Reconciliation DataSource The reconciliation DataSource technology is available as of PI-BASIS / SAP NetWeaver 2004s. As of PI-BASIS / SAP NetWeaver 2004s SAP plans to deliver reconciliation DataSources gradually within SAP applications Scenario Generic DataSource with Database View This scenario uses the generic DataSource with a database view as the reconciliation DataSource to be compared with the original DataSource. You can also apply this scenario in your system if the extraction logic can be replaced by an R/3 database table or view and the volume of data to be extracted is not huge. This scenario is generally valid for all applications (SD, MM, QM, CO, FI, etc) for those fields that are persisting in the database table in R/3. For fields that are determined dynamically (e.g. open order quantity is determined during the online transaction and stored directly in the delta queue but not in the database table), a table view cannot be applied to replace the complex extraction logic. Therefore this reconciliation scenario is not applicable for dynamically determined fields. In the CO area, every field that is relevant for the DataSource is stored in the database table in R/3. Therefore, a generic DataSource can be implemented in order to replace the original extraction logic. The results of this generic DataSource can be compared with the results of the original DataSource (original function module). For details, see the following slide SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 7
9 Data Model for Reconciliation Scenario Generic DataSource with Database View 0CCA_O09 (Actual cost: Line item) Multi Provider Remote Cube 0CO_OM_CCA_9 (DataSource for extraction of single records on daily basis) ZCOVA_DS1 (Verification DataSource: Customer-defined generic DataSource ) ZCOVALIDATION (Customer-defined view in R/3) COEP (R/3 table: CO object line items by period) COBK (R/3 table: CO object document header) SAP AG 2004, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 20 The following step-by-step solutions are only an example. Check whether this is applicable to your concrete business case. 1. Run transaction SE11 in the R/3 system to create a view which is based on the table of COEP and COBK. These two tables are the source information for extractor 0CO_OM_CCA_9 (CO cost on the line item level). 2. Define selection conditions. Only CO objects with prefix KS or KL should be selected because only these objects are relevant for the extraction and relevant for the reconciliation SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 8
10 KS means controlling area; KL means cost element. 3. Setting the Maintenance Status. Status Display/Maintenance Allowed allows you to display and edit this view. 4. Create a DataSource in transaction RSO2. Assign the DataSource to the appropriate application component. The view, which is created by following the steps above, should be used in this field. Click the Save button to save this DataSource. You will get a pop-up for the development class. For testing purposes you can save this DataSource as a local object. If you want to transport this DataSource into any other systems it should be saved with the appropriate development class SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 9
11 5. Replicate this new Datasource ZCOVA_DS1 to BI and create InfoSource / Transfer Rule in BI the system. 6. Because the value of InfoObject 0costcenter is determined in extractor 0CO_OM_CCA_9 and this logic cannot be replaced by the view ZCORECONCILIATION, this InfoObject has to be determined in the transfer rule using formula: 0costcenter = substring (object number, 6, 10) SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 10
12 7. InfoObject 0fiscvarnt can be assigned to a constant for testing purposes. In this example we assume that K4 is the fiscal year variant for the company. You can also determine the value of InfoObject 0fiscvarnt by reading the attribute value of InfoObject 0COMP_CODE which is available in the transfer structure. 8. In ZCOVA_DS1 InfoObject 0Fiscper (fiscal period) can be added to the InfoSource to make the comparison fairly easy. This InfoObject can be determined in the transfer rule using formula: 0FISCPER = CONCATENATE (fiscal year, period) Scenario Generic DataSource with Function Module If the extraction logic is not sufficiently transparent that it can be reproduced using a table or view, you can create a generic DataSource based on a function module. For more information about how to create a generic DataSource based on a function module, see SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 11
13 3.1.4 Scenario Direct Access to DataSource With this scenario the original DataSource is accessed remotely via a RemoteCube. The results of the direct access and the results of ODS object (data in OLTP is loaded into an ODS object) are compared. As the same DataSource is applied as the reconciliation DataSource in this scenario, any errors existing in the DataSource (extractor) cannot be identified. On the other hand, this scenario can be applied for identifying inconsistencies in delta handling. Data Model for Reconciliation Scenario Direct Access to DataSource 0CCA_O09 (Actual cost: Line item) Multi Cube Remote Cube 0CO_OM_CCA_9 (DataSource for extraction of single records on daily basis) 0CO_OM_CCA_9 (DataSource for extraction of single records on daily basis) SAP AG 2004, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / Application-Specific Scenario: Reconciliation between Two Standard DataSources The following two DataSources extract the same information and differ only in their time periods. Therefore they can be applied for the reconciliation scenario: 0CO_OM_CCA_9: DataSource for extraction of single records on a daily basis 0CO_OM_CCA_1: DataSource for extraction of totals SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 12
14 Data Model for CO Specific Reconciliation Scenario 0CCA_O09 (Actual cost: Line item) Multi Provider Remote Cube 0CO_OM_CCA_9 (DataSource for extraction of single records on daily basis) 0CO_OM_CCA_1 (DataSource for extraction of totals) SAP AG 2004, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / Implementing Common Content Objects for Different Reconciliation Scenarios After you have implemented the appropriate DataSource for the different reconciliation scenarios, the step-by-step solutions introduced in this chapter are mainly the same for the different scenarios. This is an example for creating objects based on the Direct Access to DataSources reconciliation scenario: RemoteCube ODS objects MultiProvider Query The following step-by-step solutions are only an example. Check whether this is applicable to your concrete business case SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 13
15 1. Create an SAP RemoteCube for InfoSource 0CO_OM_CCA_9 in the customer system by using the proposed characteristics and key figures from InfoSource 0CO_OM_CCA_9. Click Save and Generate to generate the InfoCube. 2. Assign a relevant source system to this RemoteCube by right-clicking on the Assign Source Systems context menu SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 14
16 3. Create an ODS object without data transformation or manipulation. Assign the ODS object to InfoSource 0CO_OM_CCA_9. In this scenario we use ODS object 0CCA_O09 (ODS object which stores the actual cost for each cost center on the order item level) which is delivered to the customer with the standard business content. 4. Create a MultiProvider which is based on ODS object 0CO_O09 and the RemoteCube you created in step Assign characteristics to dimensions, identify characteristics and key figures. If all these steps are completed, you can save and activate this MultiProvider for data reconciliation SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 15
17 6. Here is an example for creating a query for data comparison based on this MultiProvider: Start the BEX Query Analyzer or run transaction RSRT to define a new query. Details for query definition: Filter: Currency type, controlling area, fiscal period Rows: Cost center, cost element Key figures: Amount_ODS (result from ODS object), Amount_Remote (result from the RemoteCube) Deviation (the difference between the results from the ODS object and RemoteCube) Query definition can be adjusted in accordance with your individual reporting requirements. 7. Define restricted key figures. Example: Amount_Remote (result from RemoteCube) is restricted by: InfoProvider = name of RemoteCube Key figure = Amount You can define other restricted key figures in the same way SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 16
18 8. Define an exception for calculated key figure deviation1. Deviation 1 = ABS ( 'Amount_ODS' - 'Amount_Remote' ) Information broadcasting can also be implemented to broadcast the exception automatically via or a KM document. For details, see the Information Broadcasting how-to-paper in the SAP Service Marketplace. 9. After defining the query and the key figures you can run the query to see the result. In this example you can see that the results for cost center and do not match in the ODS object and the RemoteCube. One reason may be that the data in the SAP source system is not completely loaded into the ODS object. In this case, restart the data load into the ODS object. 10. After the data load, the results from the ODS object are identical to those from the RemoteCube. Make sure that you have loaded all the data from the SAP source system into SAP BI before you start data reconciliation SAP LABS, INC. AND SAP AG 17
